this is what school should be like

730-assembly
8-1230- free time A.K.A go use computer in the library.

=) haha. Due to teachers being on course and stuff, this is what i have for today. Have been in the library since 820.. just using computer and writing my essay (on the com! i love the fact that my new GP teacher allows us to type our essays out =)

Anyway woah yesterday's bball was quite shiok although i sprained my toe and my finger. Not severe sprains though, just.. slight sprains. Still hurt today. I love it when i'm just on fire and every shot seems to go in. =)
Wa but my lan-di (under the ring) finishing is still quite terrible. Should be 100% but for the first 2 hours+ was about 0% i think :/ Then i went to shooting then i chopchopchop. Then afterwards tired already so i start making runs inside.. then my finishing slightly better.

Played for like 4 hours i think. Went home and finished dinner... and went to sleep already cos i was so freaking tired. haaa. 8.45pm ok earliest i ever slept this year.


Oh anyway my school's Library Club has came up with this cool competition.. 'Oy i stumped the librarians'. Basically you can try to come up with a question that the librarians can't answer, no personal questions and questions must be credible and you must be able to provide a reliable source for your answer if they can't answer it.
So far i think there are less than 10 people who stumped them. Out of 100? Maybe only 5 or something. It's basically like you fill up this form with your name and contact, and write your question, then drop it into a box.
Then they have one day to answer it. Most of the answers are found via search engines.. they're quite pro search-engine users. Then some are just.. crazy librarian's handywork. E.g. 'Is a chair still a chair if a person does not know that it is a chair?'. Then some librarian who takes KI (Knowledge and Inquiry) was coincidentally writing an essay about it. So he posted his essay there.

Anyway, i stumped the librarians twice! (maybe thrice)

Well not that they completely couldn't answer my question, but their answers given were incomplete.
First was 'How do you use the Spiritbreaker bug in Dota Allstars v6.40', and in their answer (probably stolen dotaportal forums) they left out a crucial step.
Next was 'What aspects of the Bicycle deck are copyrighted?'
and i think they wikied it, and searched the websites and came up with an incomplete answer again. The full answer is on the BOX of Bicycle cards itself.. which i brought today to show them. =)

And my last question was 'Which piece of land is unclaimed by any country?'. I actually stole this from an issue of Reader's Digest.. and their answer given was 'no piece of and land is unclaimed blabla ' but the answer in the RD clearly states that there is. (some massive ice chunks in Antartica)
So i'm just waiting for the librarian guy to come and i'll see whether i'm right.

ok , toodles. back to my essay.
